BrickLDebates: Capitalism 101 – What would a rent strike look like?

Brick Lane Debates presents: Could a rent strike fuck the system?

Property developers are making a killing from our city. Millions of people struggle with extortionate rents set by multimillionaire landlords. But why should we be exploited for our basic need for shelter?

A participatory discussion looking at the history of rent strikes via industrial struggles & the possibility of a rent strike under neoliberal capitalism.

We’ll also talk about developing the tools and confidence for strike action – from new technologies to community solidarity.

Discussion led by members of the Radical Housing Network.
